ALAN BEAN: ART OFF THIS EARTH

Profiles Alan Bean, the Apollo XII astronaut who in November 1969 became the fourth
man to set foot on the moon, and who later turned to painting to share the vision he
brought back from space. Working with the myths and icons of the Space Age, Bean's
paintings of the Apollo missions feature lunar buggies, command ships, American flags,
and fellow astronauts in famous scenes from history.
